Staff writersSPRINGFIELD - Lawyers representing a black school principal who said he was abused by city police said yesterday that they are no longer seeking criminal charges against the officers.
John S. Ferrara, who with Perman Glenn III is representing Douglas G. Greer, principal of Robert M. Hughes Academy Charter School, said pursuing a criminal complaint could get in the way of an internal investigation by the Police Department and city solicitor. Glenn said Thursday night that they had filed the applications for criminal complaints in court.
